Start: Parking deck in the center of Passail

• We start on the right and walk the short section towards Fladnitz until we reach the junction up to the Lindenberg ("Lindenbergkirche"/"Almenland-Beekeeping Kreiner").
• The asphalted road leads past the Lindenberg Church and the Almenland beekeeping Kreiner, we hike along path no. 743.
• Soon we are on the forest road, which we continue over the Buchkogel towards Teichalm.
• At the crossroads on the Teichalm we look over to the GH Angerwirt. We keep right and take path no. 45 further.
• First over a pasture and then steeply through the forest it goes up to the Osser summit.
• The further path no. leads down from the Osser. 45/745 over the "Schwoabauerkreuz" (above the Pension-Camping Holzmeister) to the right over the alpine pastures.
• Turnoffs down to the “Holdahütt’n” will soon be marked.
• We continue through the forest and over the Saukogel up to the Sommeralm to the three weather crosses on the Bründlalm.
• Here we keep right and follow path no. 730 or 706/Mariazeller long-distance hiking trail over the Schwarzkogel towards Ochsenhalt.
• We enter the Ochsenhalt via a passage; the small Ochsenhalt hut is well suited for a rest, but is not managed.
• We are now taking path no. 730 or 706 down to the intersection in Kriechenlee.
• There, go a little bit to the right along the street at path no. 730 up, past a crossroads and then turn left down into path no. 761 and 706 in the direction of Passail.
• At the next intersection we turn right into Zantschbachweg and stay on path no. 761 and 706 respectively.
• We cross the Raab and turn left into Raabgraben Weg. 
• We now walk the last part on the road and along the Raab to Passail.

From the Sommeralm, the short detour down to the "Holdahütt'n" is worth it; guests can expect traditional home cooking with homemade pastries.
